2010 Pro Wrestling Thread

The greatest SCM of all time:

And the thing is, everyone remembers the end, but the match itself was incredible:
Part I:

Part II:

 

I knew what this was, but watched it anyway.

Have this match on the RAW 15th anniversary DVD set, and I pop it in from time to time. Never gets old.

 

I hope to see this Monday from the ninth row.

Let the wars begin ... again.

 

What does this mean?

 

Tonight, TNA Impact moves to Mondays ... for good.

 

WWE has smartly counterprogrammed the Hogan-Flair main event with Cena-McMahon. I can't wait for Michael Cole to come back from commercial and say, "Welcome to WWE Raw! Where only half of our main event is eligible for social security!"

 

To be fair, it's Hogan-Abyss vs. Flair-Styles, so TNA can also say that only half its main event is eligible for social security

 

Fair enough.
This still feels more like the end of the last Monday Night War, though, instead of a resumption of hostilities. TNA, from what I've seen, is eerily reminiscient of WCW circa late 1998-early 1999. Lots of overbooked matches; trying to peddle a way past his prime Hogan as the biggest drawing card; way too many other stars a good decade past their prime (even if the contracts are smaller this time); and overemphasis on TV ratings; good young talent being overlooked or underutilized; and the looming threat of Vince Russo putting something crappy on the show every other segment.
Maybe the move to Monday is a roll of the dice from a promotion with nothing to lose. Maybe it'll be a hit. I just can't see this ending well for TNA.

 

We should have a pool on what takes longer -- Hogan's broke-down ass hobbling to the ring or Undertaker's normal entrance. Over/under is 5 minutes for each.

 

Flipped back to TNA for just a minute and saw, five minutes into his big comeback, Hogan's bloody face six inches from the camera. What'd I miss?

 

Sting came out ... turned on Hogan and Abyss. Match will restart later as a no DQ.
